Glasgow is filthy. If you go to the east side, there is trash everywhere. It isn't great

I feel like everywhere in Glasgow is trashy. I moved here a few months ago and it's gross

I thought it was back home! I miss the creek trails of Melbourne so much

The scene reminds me a lot of the city of Fes in Morocco

Trash everywhere? Yeah it's a bit off-putting

Loved that film. Saw that there's a board game of it now as well

Splendor is great because it's simple to teach to new players, but has decent depth in strategy. Regarding Wispwood, after reading the manual we nearly put the game away but after getting a round in, it turned out to be easy to play but with a deep level of strategy. Will be sure to replay

Wingspan is such a wholesome game

Had a great time at The Merchant's Guild in #glasgow replaying Splendor and trying out a new board game Wispwood. Hoping they add some others like Wingspan, Everdell and Root to their catalogue πŸ˜€ #boardgames

So much for a bunch of countries recognising Palestine last year, it has made no difference

Enjoyed this series as well. For me, it felt like a good blend between sci-fi and fantasy

I actually watched and listened to the whole thing, very eye-opening

America has long ago lost any respect it had. Now it is just a war-mongering country

At my local library I found some books in the Mass Effect and Dishonored series. I loved those games so I tried out some of the books
